About Me

Hi! I am currently a research intern at UCSD Hao AI Lab, advised by Prof.Hao Zhang. I received my master degree in Robotics at UMich. Before that, I obtained my B.Eng. of Robotics with honors from Cho Kochen Honors College at Zhejiang University in 2023.

Currently, I'm interested in efficient video generation and enabling real-time interactive video generation.

I’m always happy to chat with people from diverse backgrounds—whether from academia or industry. Feel free to reach me at yongqichcd@gmail.com. You’re also welcome to connect with me on WeChat：cyq11291129.
